About the UO School of Music:

As a member of the American Association of Universities, the University of Oregon is considered one of the top research universities in the country, at the same time it is acknowledged as being one of America’s “best buys” for a college education, by such publications as the Fiske Guide.

What about the UO tuba/euphonium studio…what makes it special?

Environment: The studio mood is serious, but supportive and friendly. Studio members are expected to work hard, however, there is much opportunity for fun and camaraderie.

Time and attention: Professor Grose is full-time at UO. He is not an adjunct professor. As a result, in addition to the standard weekly lesson (1 hour), there is studio class (1 hour), and tuba/euphonium ensemble (1 hour), all of which adds up to 3 hours each week of student/teacher contact. When you shop around you will not find very many other tuba/euphonium programs that offer so much weekly attention with the professor, especially at colleges where the tuba/euphonium professor is an adjunct.

Results: Mr. Grose’s teaching is highly regarded. Many former students have gone on to fill positions in major orchestras major military bands, music educator posts, and have been admitted to top music schools and conservatories around the United States, such as Curtis, Yale, and Peabody, to name a few.
